Is He or Is He Not the Perfectly Polished Bozo Presenter?
Recently, while leading a writing workshop at Microsoft, I noticed a cluster of people gathering around a particular attendee at the back of the room. The group huddled over his open laptop and listened intently for what seemed like several minutes, then started chuckling, then broke out in roaring laughter.
After they dispersed, another group gathered, listened intently for a minute or so, then slow snickers, then uproarious laughter, then they left.
They passed the word to a third group.
My curiosity finally got the better of me, and I wandered back to join the new group forming for their turn around the laptop. By the time I joined them, the video clip was already running.
An immaculately dressed, articulate, energetic speaker was explaining a new product on the market. It sounded somewhat technical, but then I was at Microsoft so what did I expect? After all, they don’t sell crayons or Kool-Aid.
I listened more intently. The guy was smooth: polished gestures, great posture, winning smile. The others around me started to ask questions as they watched: “Who is this guy?” “Have you seen one of those things he’s talking about?” “Is this for real?” To all these questions from the onlookers the guy at his laptop simply shook his head and grinned at his YouTube bait.
Take two minutes to watch the perfectly polished Rockwell Retro Encabulator presentation—one that you should never emulate.
(I would tell you the point of this blog, but that would be like a movie or book reviewer giving away the plot and ending.)
Share and Enjoy
